I don’t think you’re an asshole, but I think you have no understanding of what it’s like to be in an abusive relationship. Don’t you think if it was that easy to walk away, people would? Who the hell would stay in an abusive relationship if they could just leave?

I think the point is that this kind of reaction seems to be elicited by mainly female characters. Even the posts I’ve seen about Joffrey haven’t been this vitriolic, and everyone hates that guy. Sure, they wish death on him, but since it’s so common in GoT, it’s a pretty reasonable thing to wish for. No one makes fun of how he looks, or calls him a slut or whore, or anything like that.He’s really the only male I can think of who gets this much hate, and he actually deserves it because the character has absolutely no redeeming qualities that we’ve seen. All the characters listed above are fairly normal people, not psychopaths like Joffrey, but they get as much or more hate than him. Don Draper is a worse person than Betty or Megan, and he barely gets any hate at all.

“Never” is pretty strong. I’d say you’re better off not having kids till you’re late-20s/early 30s. Have fun, finish your education, build up your resources, develop your career, meet a great partner without having to rush into anything, go on lots of vacations, buy a house, etc. Once you’ve done all that, honestly, you’d be surprised. You might actually look forward to having kids. That’s what happened to me, also to a friend of mine. I was never against having them, just wasn’t really into the idea. She specifically never wanted kids, and now she has two (by choice).I’m not one of these people who think “oh, your clock will start ticking, you’ll change your mind”. A lot of people never do change their minds. And I also don’t think you need kids to be happy, there are many routes to happiness. But if you get to a point in your life where you’ve accomplished a large part of your goals for yourself, you might find yourself wanting to add new ones. :)

I wish we’d stop perpetuating the “childbirth is the most painful thing ever” story. It can be, but it won’t necessarily be. The more you can relax the muscles and go with it the easier it’ll be, and the tenser you are the harder it will be. We’re just making it harder on everyone by scaring people. Mine certainly wasn’t the screamfest depicted in movies and on tv, and my baby was huge!Also, whatever, these reasons are fine but basically it all boils down to “people who don’t want kids shouldn’t have them”. Pretty simple stuff.

If both partners work and get equal pay, then there is no alimony in the divorce. Usually, though, what happens is that the woman ends up in a lower-paying job, either because it has better hours for her to do childcare, or because she does part-time work so she can do childcare. This is a sacrifice in money that the family makes in order to have a parent spending more time with the children. The problem with it is that when a divorce occurs, it leaves the woman with the low-paying job, so now the sacrifice in money is purely on her side. Alimony is an attempt to correct that.

I guess it’s just ‘hard’ for them to use all the other games that are out there. There’s enough focus on how girls and women look. Do we really need a computer program that has no purpose other than to have them focus on how they look? It’s very different from dress-up, which generally has an imaginative component. You dress-up, and then you act something out. You don’t just try on outfit after outfit and that’s it. You’re dressing up for a purpose. What is the purpose of this program?

What’s to hate about breastfeeding? That’s how babies are fed. Sure, you can use formula if you want to or need to, but that’s an extra cost and extra work.I do hate that there’s this whole narrative about how if you feed formula you’re not as good a mother. It only serves to make women feel bad when they can’t product milk, or can’t breastfeed because they have to work. But hating that narrative is much different than hating breastfeeding. In fact, I would go so far as to say that hating breastfeeding is a very strange reaction to it.

The thing to remember about exit polls is that they reflect a) only the people willing to answer the question and b) the answer that the respondant is willing to give out loud. Take the scenario of a southern, white couple where the husband is a hard-core Republican. They vote, they get exit polled, and the husband says “Republican, of course!”. What does the wife say? Regardless of how she actually voted, she will probably say Republican, because her husband is standing right there.Just saying. Some people are not socially “allowed” to vote left-wing, but they may do so in the privacy of the booth. Exit polls will never show it though. Of course a similar situation could happen the other way, where one member of the couple doesn’t want to let their spouse know they voted right-wing, although that seems less likely since it’s not as culturally ingrained as right-wing in the south for whites. Anyway, still, these results have to be taken with a grain of salt.
